Great location. Only 1.5 miles to downtown and the inner harbor. .5 miles to a super market. Nice shopping and restaurant district is only a block away. The house has a great view of harbor and downtown. The house has two patios with views. We enjoyed our stay very much.

We loved our stay at Susi's home! Beautiful, large home, with amazing views of the Auckland Skytower, downtown, and the harbor bridge. Also within walking distance of many wonderful shops and cafes - a perfect Auckland home base!

What an absolute find! The house is amazingly homely and has everything you could possibly need. The views from the house are priceless! Location is perfect for a nice walk or short bus ride into the city. Would have no hesitation in booking again.

This is our second visit to Susi’s house in Ponsonby and again we were delighted with our stay over Christmas and New Year. It is so easy to get to all points within the CBD and beyond that this makes city shopping and further excursions very accessible. The views from all of the North and East facing windows are terrific and far reaching whilst the views and ambiance from the deck on the top master bedroom house are fantastic. A glass of wine, a good book and the views are highly recommended. The accommodation is ideal for us and our often visiting grand children. The kids bedrooms are on the ground floor level and we are two floors above in relative peace. Susi is an excellent host who is contactable at just about ant time. She has a great attitude and will do everything she can to make the renters stay as easy and comfortable as possible.

House is located in a very nice area, accessible to great restaurants on Ponsonby Rd and the CBD. We loved going to the German Bakery for coffee and breakfast. Great views of the bay on 2nd and 3rd floors. Enjoyed sitting outside in the warmth of the sun. The master bedroom is very nice with views. Other 2 bedrooms are on bottom floor. Took off a star because queen bed did not have sheets and there were limited towels, wash cloths and hand towels. Also, cleaning items (vacuum, mop, cleaning cloths) were left out. Overall we were pleased with the accommodations awaiting the departure of our cruise.

We came for a family wedding and found the Ponsonby location on VRBO to be central and conveniently located and we were not disappointed. Great views of the city and Harbour Bridge and walking distance to shopping and coffee shops and restaurants. The cupboards are filled with the essentials like tea,coffee,salt&pepper etc...so all we needed to buy is the groceries we needed for our stay. The outdoor deck was awesome for morning coffee or evening wind down after sightseeing the city. Views are so tranquil. Thank you Susan for providing us a wonderful place to stay and we hope to be back soon. One suggestion is a BBQ for the outdoor deck would be awesome to cook some New Zealand lamb or the catch of the day! kia ora rawa atu-Thank you heaps! Jeff(Can-iwi=Canadian Kiwi)

We stayed here for 40 days. Susi is an excellent communicator, getting back to us very quickly with any queries we had. The property was spacious, clean with lovely large bed and bed linen in main bedroom. The other bedrooms were great too! Lots of towels, shampoo etc provided. The views from the house were superb , and the house had two very spacious terraces to sit out on. The location was perfect, not just for a huge number of local shops/cafes/restaurants on Ponsonby Rd. but also for catching buses to the city centre and beyond. We had no complaints at all but must admit we did miss terrestrial TV ( just for the News etc! ). Also a BBQ would have been an excellent addition to have . We highly recommend this property and have already booked to return next year !

We lived here for six months during my husband's university sabbatical and could not have had a better experience. The house was perfect for our family of four - our school-aged girls had their own space downstairs, so we weren't on top of each other. The living area was comfortable, and the kitchen was well-enough equipped to cook regularly for a family. The Master was lovely and the office was spacious. But the terrace - ideal for coffee or wine - with views you'll love! I can't say enough great things about the house! The location is fantastic - heaps of restaurants on Jervois and Ponsonby - all within easy walking distance. Even walking to the CBD via Westhaven marina and the Viaduct was easy and beautiful. The area of town is beautiful, surrounded by bays and local beaches with friendly people and is very safe.Susi is so easy to work with and very responsive. She's reasonable, understanding, and knows a lot about the area.One review mentioned that there's not a bathroom on the main living floor and that's probably the only thing I'd change, but it's certainly not a big deal if you're good on stairs.You won't be sorry if you stay here - we'll always remember our time in Auckland SO fondly and our time at Susi's home has given our family memories to last a lifetime.
